Automation platforms streamline processes and offer flexibility, but AI integration and version upgrades pose challenges
In the technology world, there is always room for improvement. Technologies evolve day by day, especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence and generative AI models. Although IBM BPM is a substantial product, adopting and integrating new technologies quickly is not easy due to the migration and upgrade paths involved. Every time new versions are released, we face business and production challenges that make rapid adoption challenging. The main concern bothering me today regarding IBM BPM is the integration of AI components.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The biggest benefit of using the product is identifying the issues, enabling a more flexible working method."
"IBM BPM's best features include document sharing, management document creation, widget and barcode creation, and integration."
"It is transparent to business users because it is mostly picture based modelling."
"Good user interface and good add option."
"Agility is the key. It gives our customers a faster way to be able to implement processes, get ownership of task, visibility into a process. The ability to modify that process, optimize that process over time, is probably the biggest benefit that they get from the software."
"I liked its robustness the most. It was a very robust platform in my experience. It seemed like a very stable and powerful tool for handling lots of concurrent users and hammering at the system."
"We have automated processes with IBM BPM and DocuSign. Its valuable features include low-code, timer, etc. It makes it simple to implement the products. We generate reports using the solution."
"Its workflow and integration with SAP are the most valuable features. It is also a stable solution."
"The customer service is outstanding."
 

Cons

"The platform's initial setup process could be better."
"I would like it more documentation during the design phase."
"Performance on large scale requirements could also be improved."
"We would appreciate more user-friendly definitions of processes with a more user-friendly interface for documenting processes."
"We still have a couple of issues that we are working on right now with stability. Mostly on the configuration side of the tool, and it has been about a month that we have been working to stabilize the platform.​"
"New users will need at least six months to get comfortable with IBM BPM, at least initially. So, there's a learning curve."
"IBM BPM uses JavaScript as a programming language for the server-side. I don’t know why it’s not Java, as it’s more powerful and the JavaScript part is translated into Java anyway."
"They should incorporate an API gateway functionality within it to simplify integrations."
"They could provide case studies to investigate and understand the functionality of business processes before development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is highly-priced."
"It has a low cost to implement. You'll get your money back in the same year that you complete the project."
"I already compared some solutions related to business process management, and I saw that the cost of IBM BPM is more expensive compared with that of Camunda, for example."
"The price is good but could be a little lower."
"IBM BPM cannot be considered a cheaply priced product. IBM BPM is a really expensive product compared to other companies. One needs to opt for the perpetual licensing model offered by IBM."
"The cloud and license of the subscription model for IBM BPM can be complex. There are a lot of alternatives to choose from."
"When considering the features of the solution the price is expensive compared to competitors."
"IBM BPM is expensive, so most large companies opt for IBM based on their licensing options."
